Sindhu Darshan Festival

June

Leh, Jammu and Kashmir

The majestic Indus River which saw one of the oldest civilisations spring on its banks starts from the breathtaking Mansarovar Lake in Tibet. Passing from the spectacular terrain of northern India, it swiftly makes its way to Pakistan, where finally it sublimes into the Arabian Sea. The Indus is also known as the Sindhu, in India and is revered by Indians.

The Sindhu Darshan festival is livened up by spectacular performances on the shore of this serene river by cultural troupes from across India. The Indus – the river that gave its nomenclature to India is worshipped, and water from all the other rivers are collected in earthen pots and emptied into the Sindhu, to signify the unity of India.
